The CoTeSys - ROS Fall School on Cognition-Enabled Mobile Manipulation
will introduce the participants to the exciting research area of
autonomous mobile manipulation. Introductory lectures will be given by
world-renowned experts in the fields of 2D/3D perception, learning,
reasoning and planning. The lectures will be complemented with hands-on
practical exercises using various modules of the open-source ROS
framework. Many of the principal developers will be present and
available for support and interaction. The application domain for the
fall school will be "everyday manipulation in human living environments".

The school has a strong hands-on emphasis. The goal to be pursued
throughout the whole week will be to build a practical application on
high-end robots (e.g. TUM-Rosie, the PR2) that will give robots the power
to perceive and interpret typical household scenes, reason about them
to infer the subsequent courses of action, and to finally execute them
in the form of mobile manipulation.
